Hurm, thinking for the right words and I think(?) namespace is the right
one.

Anyway, DTML documents have one and DTML methods don't.

Hence your tree tag is using the DTML documents namespace, which has
nothing in it apart from the properties of the document. A method will
use the namespace of the folder containing it, which will have all the
other objects in that folder in its namespace.

The vocab. I've used might not be quite right (someone please correct me
:-) but the basic principal is what's going on.

HTH,
